WE can do this!!!!

I have a scale - I'm happier if I don't use it very often.

With that said, I'm also focusing on less food - more nutrients.

Day 2 under way of eating the foods I'm supposed to and the quantity as well.

@SherryRueter I tried the fb link too and it didnt work. It says “this content available right now. When this happens its usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or its been deleted”

I appreciate the invite Kit! I think I will also continue to post here for consistency.

In Memphis we did not have a Total Eclipse, more like 80% . Work provided the glasses and the time to spend in the parking lot staring at the sky. Beautiful day, light clouds. It didn't get dark, maybe more like dusk (?) It felt a lot lighter outside than it seemed it should. I've been admiring the photos from social media.

I guess the last one was in 1979. I was roughly 10yrs old and remember going outside with the class (we had school!) and using the paper hole method to look at it. That's all I remember. Do any of you remember that one?

Workouts are going good. Doing DIG DEEPER Info below is from my apple watch.

accountability: Tuesday: PiYo (300cal burn) + lighter cardio (total 424cal)
Monday: Chest and Back (watch batterie died, not charged over night, sad face)
Sunday: Total body (343 cal, avg heart rate 141BPM. Mainly in Zone 4: 22mins 147-159 BPM)

Finally went to the Sports Medicine doctor about my shoulder and, he said its seems to be a bicep tendon issue and the Steroid shot is the most effective. He also signed me up for physical therapy. said to keep taking Ibuprofen. This should resolve the issue, but if it doesn't we will do an MRI. I took a rest day today.

Does this count as rest? I did Piyo for 45mins. My heart rate averaged 151 BMP (thats Zone 4 for me on my apple watch) . I know I hit Zone 5 (top zone of 159+ during it also.) SOOOO crazy?!?!
I think for a "rest day" they probably don't want my heart rate that high.

I'm taking points for getting in some pilates/Yoga. Heck, that's a good burn.

@justgirl81 - do you also do strength training, or only cardio? What about yoga? Just curious. Are you training for an upcoming event or anything (many runners do that, so I thought I could ask).

@Ceebeeslim - I was wondering about you.

oh gosh! That's happened within the last year to 3 highschool classmates (different grads than I). One was on a ragbrai - bike ride across the state of Iowa and died either in his tent sleeping that night or on the bike. He was a pediatric surgeon. Another was a girl that just yea... like your in law. Healthy ish, slender. I hate to say, but I wonder if the covid shot had anything to do with it. I've read a few articles about the incidents among that age group showing heart attacks or something. You just don't know what you don't know. My brother in law passed 2 years ago on a freak tractor accident. =All this to say, My condolences. It really just hits differently.

I was just listening to a podcast by Nutrifacts.org Dr. Michael Gregger - he has a lot of information on longevity and foods that boost it and foods that are just as carcinogenic as cigarettes. Sugar being the main one.


What I did is tried to focus on my health. I can stay active so that "when I've fallen" I can get back up easily. I can listen to different theories on healthy foods (seems to be pointing at whole foods plant based). And make sure that I am feeding it high nutrients. All of this will help me as I age. And it will fight of disease.

I eat my fair share of sugar-don't get me wrong, Its a work in progress and making small baby steps daily.
